Judges 2:1-2

When we compromise with God's commands, we create thorns in our own lives. But here's the shocking truth: even when we mess up, God's covenant remains unbreakable. Discover how His faithfulness outlasts our failures.

Study the Old Testament historical books and learn how they find their fulfillment in Christ! These books tell the story of how God worked through Israel despite its sin; how Israel was eventually exiled from their land because of their sin; and how God then brought his people back home to rebuild them. In these books, we find hope in God’s love at work in our weakness and failure.

For all the victory and triumph in the book of Joshua, Judges paints a far more somber picture. The repetition, "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25) describes this dark period of Israel's history succinctly. Yet even in the midst of their rebellion, God was faithful to fulfill his covenantal promises to his people.
